Legal Statement, with all those harsh unfriendly words

While I, Caro Clarke, make every effort to ensure that all information displayed on this website is accurate and complete, I provide this site for information purposes only and it is therefore indicative rather than definitive. I thus do not guarantee its accuracy, whether explicit or implicit, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, I do not accept responsibility for any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, or for any loss which might result directly or indirectly from reliance on the content it contains.

I reserve the right to correct or update content at any time without prior notification. In making this site available, no client, advisory, financial or professional relationship is implied or established and neither I nor any other person is, in connection with this site, engaged in rendering advisory, consulting or other professional services. Links on this site may lead to servers maintained by other individuals or other organisations. I make no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, timeliness, suitability or any other aspect of the information located on such servers and I neither monitor nor endorse such servers or content. Any terms and conditions concerning the usage of this website will be governed by the laws of England, and any dispute concerning use of this website will be determined exclusively by the English Courts.

Just so we're clear.

Cookies

I do not use trackers beacons, Google Analytics or any other analytic software on this site. I do not collect any information about you, and never intend to.

I do use a third-party contact form on my Contact Me page, supplied by JotForms. Most forms need cookies to run, but JotForms does not absolutely declare, nor does it absolutely deny, that it places tracking cookies on a user's website. Their cookies appear to be less greedy than, say, Google's.

If you are concerned about this (or any other) cookie, I urge you to change your browser's privacy settings to block these, and perhaps also to install privacy tools, such as uBlock Origin, AdBlock Plus, and PrivacyBadger, all of which are in my own arsenal.
